If the links are not highlighted by default, then tab navigation is basically non-existent since I cannot see where I'd be redirected and I personally bother to write custom CSS only for the websites I visit very often.
Is there an actual reason to disable highlighting? It lowers usability and accessibility, but I'm not sure what do you get in return?

Some browsers, Chrome especially, show the focus outline when elements are clicked with a mouse and some people think it looks unacceptably bad. Focus-visible is a CSS property meant to solve that but it’s only supported in Firefox and requires browser heuristics to do the right thing. https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-focus-visible https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-focus-visible https://css-tricks.com/keyboard-only-focus-styles/ https://css-tricks.com/keyboard-only-focus-styles/
